Rainbow Gradient

I haven't seen "The Great and Powerful Oz" yet, but growing up "The Wizard of Oz" was my No. 1 favorite movie. C'mon ... it really has it all: flying monkeys, a wicked witch, talking inanimate objects, a man made of tin, beautiful pink dresses and ruby slippers.

Judy Garland's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was one of my favorite songs, so these nails are inspired by her awesome performance.

Here are the colors I used:Pinky: Jessica Soak up the Sun (pink) and Sally Hansen Hollywood Scarlet (red)Ring finger: Sally Hansen Hollywood Scarlet (red), OPI In My Back Pocket (orange), Sinful Colors Firefly (yellowMiddle finger: Sinful Colors Firefly (yellow), China Glaze Hanging in the Balance (blue); the green is a custom mix of these two colorsIndex finger: China Glaze Hanging in the Balance (blue); lavender is a combination of OPI I Don't Give a Rotterdam, Jessica Soak up the Sun and OPI Alpine Snow; violet is a combination of Sally Hansen Hollywood Scarlet and and China Glaze Hanging in the Balance

My favorite combinations are the pink/red pinky and blue/purple index finger ... but they're all so colorful and cheerful that they brighten my mood.
